To the Editor of The Express:
According to the Radicals’ idea “it
is heads I win and tails you lose.”
It is an insult beyond all description
or example for Grant to send a com
mittee of Northern men to recount
our vote for President. Did he not
send soldiers to cross With their bay
onets every ballot-box ? Did he noi
appoint men to superintend the
polls? If the majority had voted
for Hayes who had heard of “force
and intimidation?” But lo! the
people are weary of Radicalism.
Tney wish a change of masters.
Tilden received a majority of the
vote. The cry now is Iraud 1
Grant is a West Pointer—accus
tomed to military rule. Everything
must bend to his will. “The sword of
Brennusis cast into the scale!” Inter
anna leges silent ! Alas! for the re
public ! Liberty is a farce ! We are
mere children amused at the toy of
suffrage! Ttake the case of Louisiana.
Tilden gets 8,000 majority, Kellogg
acreatureand puppet of Grant, is
Governor of that State. He appoints
a returning board. They east out what
they please. They count what they
please. They decide as they will
that the State goes for Hayes and
thus in broad daylight the people are
robbed of their right to select their
President and Hayes beaten by a
half million of votes is manipulated
Into the seat which Washington and
Jefferson filled with so much honor
to themselves and glory to their
country. “If you have nature iu you
bear it not.” I want to hear from
our members of G’ougress and know
how they will stand in the great day
“when the bopks are to be opened”
andjudgment is to be passed upon
the issue of this election. Four more
years of Radical rule and where are
we and to “what complexion will
we come at last!”
The great excellency of a Republi
can Government is that the people
rule ; that the ballot is superior to the
bullet;
“That it falls as gently as snow-flakes ou the
sod,
And executes the Freeman’s will as light
nings do the wrath of God.”
We have a butcher for our Presi
dent in the person of Grant and he
has no more respect for the chaste
and beautiful Goddess of Liberty
than Tarquin had for Luecrelia.
May his fate be the same if he at
tempts to outrage tne rights of the
people. The people would not en
dure if they could nor could if they
would, the attempt to seize upon the
reins of government by force,and the
fate of that man who attempts it will
be like that of Prometheus “the vul
ture and the rock.”
Better have a king at once with
lords and dukes and his attendant
train of satellites. No. Here, this
side of the wide Atlantic Liberty has
built her temple—erected her altars
“From her mountain height,
Unfurled her bannerto the air,
Aud torn the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.”
Forty millions of people are
marching to the sound of her trum
pet and her drum. Woe be to that
man who contests her onward career.
As well oppose the avalanche or the
tides of the resistless sea.
God will see to it that Liberty shall
not be driven from the face of the
earth. She has fled from the storms
of Europe to find shelter in our land.
Before the car of her triumphal
march men and parties shall be
ground to powder who dispute her
progress.
God grant the day may come when
freedom’s sceptre shall wave over
our fair land. “When the tree of
Liberty which planted in our soil
and watered with blood although the
wild goat of the mountain may have
browsed upon its buds, and the wild
boar of the forest may have whetted
his tusk upon its sides, and the light
ning of Heaven may have shivered
its branches, still shall grow until it
may touch the stars” and all nations
repose under its protecting branches.

We give below the latest tele
graphic dispatches from the Atlanta
Constitution of this (Thursday ) morn
ing:
Northern Indignation.
New York, Nov. 22—iu p. m.—
Great indignation among conserva
tive men here at the conduct of the
returning board iu Souili Carolina.
It is believed here to be a precon
certed scheme ou the part qt the
worst men in,the Republican ptsrty
to have ail the doubtful States an
nounced for Hayes, and that General
Grant is in full accord, and that the
movement and concentration of
troops at Washington is a part of the
plan. Some Republicans insist that
the troops ure gathered at Washing
ton because there are in the South
armed organizations that may try to
interfere with the government, or
that may try in some way to inter
fere with the administration. Busi
ness men ;-re more earnest in their
protests hgniirst the present political
status and are beginning to clamor
for some settlement that will bring
peace and restwe trade to a healthy
channel. The Democrats are deter
mined and will insist on their rights.
Dispatches received from all parts of
the country urge vigilance and de
termination.
From Florida.
Tallahassee, Nov. 22—9 p m.—
There is literally nothing new to-day,
both parties arc resting on their
arms and awaiting the result of to
morrow’s trial.
The argument will open at 11
o’clock. Mr. Rainey, of Florida,
will open for the democrats. Col.
Sellers, of Philadelphia, will,follow
and ex-Gov. Brown, of Georgia, will
close. Judge Emmons, of Florida,
and Gen. Barton, of New York, will
represent the republicans. The
result will hardly be reached to-mor
row. There is the most profound
excitement on all hands. It is ru
mored that if the court decides
against the governor ho will defy its
jurisdiction and proceed to canvass
anyhow. The republicans are very
desperate and are getting mad. The
democrats are cool but positive,
From Lousiaua.
New Orleans, November 22.
Nine parishes have been canvassed,
only two of which gave a democratic
majority, showing that most of the
protests were made by republicans in
democratic parishes. Several pro
tests by democrats of a general char
acter have been filed, but the action
of the board on them is not indicated.
After receiving further protests the
board went into executive session.
Gen. Wickiiff to-day was excluded :
two commissions remained. The
clerk reported returns from fourteen
parishes not yet received.
The federal supervisors of Lousi
ana claim the right to he present
at all sessions of the returning board.
Their claim is backed by the opinion
of District Attorney Beckwith, who
holds that their duties as inspectors
commence with registration and end
with the issue of certificates of the
elections.
From South Carolina.
'Columbia, November 22 —The
action of tne board of 'State canvass
ers hero to-day in defying the su
preme court and counting in the
Hayes electors giving a majority in
the legislature, has excited great in
dignation. It is universally under
stood to be meant to ku-klux the.
legislature, secure a majority, and
then count Hampton out. as that
body Is the judge of t lie election of
Governor. The certificates given to
the Hayes electors are not considered
as worth anything being given in de
fiance of law, and therefore void.
The supreme court is relied on to rec
tify the same. The Tilden electors
are elected byond a doubt and there
is as little doubt that they will be
declared by due process law by com
petent authority.
The following representatives have
been counted out by the returning
board, they having refused to count
the vote of two counties :
Laurens—Senator R. P. Todd; Rep
resentatives Washington Watts,
Anderson and J. 13. Humbert.
Fdegfield—Senator M. W. Gary;
Representatives W. S. Allen. J. C.
Sheppord, James Collison, T. E. Jen
nings, and H. A. Shaw.
The failure to count these two
counties, give the Republicans a ma
jority lu the Legislature. These
members will be on hand, however,
on nex tTucsday, and will apply for
their seats.
General Gordon, of Georgia, ex
presses a determination to stay and
see the contest ended. He says the
question now is, whether the* state
court of South Carolina can enforce
its own mandates, or whether the
state board can take the law into its
own hands in utter disregard of the
highest court in the State. The fight
is now between the Supreme Court
and the State board. He reposes
with confidence on the issue he says
and is sure that the American people
will not countenance such revolu
tionary proceedings. He is also con
fident the supreme court will not
permit itself defied by a set of des
peradoes.

THE CON FLIC I
A M utirly Summing Up of tlu Political
Situation.
The Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, of St.
Louis, Mo., bus written a review of
the political situation for the St,
Louis Times , which is by long odds
tne best document of the kind yet
Hsucd. We give his conclusions:
Mr. Tilden has carried the Electo
ral Cos I'ego beyond any question, if
you count either of the three South
ern States.
.Mr. Tilden lias a majority of 18
electoral votes if you count all these
three States.
Mr. Til den’s popular majority is
over 300,090 votes, or larger than
that of Grant in 18(38.
Mr. Tilden has received the largest
popular vote any candidate ever re
ceived— larger even than Grant’s
vote iu 1872.
Mr. Tilden has the present House
ol Representatives, by anoverwhelm
infi majority, to support him.
Mr. Tilden will have the next
House of Representatives by an ab
solute majority.
Mr. Tilden, in any conflict, would
hare the Legislatures aud Executives
of twenty-one States in the Union to
support him, including the States of
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut
and Indiana.
Mr. Tilden will have very nearly
the entire half of the population of
such States as Pennsylvania;. Ohio
and Uliuois to support him in any
conflict.
Mr. Tilden will have nearly one
half of the United States Senate,
only from two to four votes less than
an absolute majority, to support him.
Mr. Tilden will bo the Constitu
tional and only President if—by vir
tue of tiie throwing out of Southern
votes, the election is thrown into the
House —it ever should come to a
conflict.
Mr. Tilden—if Grant’s desperadoes
should dare to declare Cipher Hayes
elected in open violation of the Con
stitution by a mere rump of the Sen
ate—could issue a proclamation as the
only President supported by the
only House of Representatives, call
ing for one million of men. Cipher
Hayes, and everybody engaged in his
enterprise, would be traitors and re
bels to their country, and forfeit
their lives.
For these reasons I don’t think
there is much ground for serious
alarm about the final result. But
should it come to the worst, we
would be defending only law and
Constitution, liberty and self gov
ernment, the Union and the Repub
lic, and Kellogg, Grant, Morton,
Hayes & Uo. would be the rebels
fighting against their country. But
mark my prediction—they will never
let it come to this.
THE DEEDS OF A WOMAN.
We notice that some of our con
temporaries who were bitter in their
denunciation of l)t*. Felton’s candida
cy, now speak of his election in fa
vorable terms, and some of them go
so far as to applaud Mrs. Felton for
the active and zealous pare which
she acted in the campaign, in the in
terest of herself and husband. As we
stated in an editorial last week,
while the husband with his splendid
oratory was engaged in sounding his
clarion notes, touching the tender
chords of the human heart wherever
he could find ears to listen, the wife
was engaged with the pen at Carters
viile, wielding it in his defense. We
honor Mrs. Feiton for this exhibition
of a true wife’s duty, and congratu
late her upon the able manner in
which she dischaiged it.
Since the days of .Madame Roland
such instances of female devotion are
of rare occurrence, and when they do
occur they ought to be commenced
•as examples worthy of imitation by
the women of the South. Upon this
subject Hie Cartersville Express,
published where she lives, prints a
commendatory editoral, from which
we extracted this paragraph:
Two years ago Mrs. Dr. Felton was
not so well known as now through
out the District; but in the late cam
paign she made the power, of a wife’s
devotion felt in every county, not by
speeches or upon the hustings, but by
all the means that a truo wife may
employ to promote the interests of
her husband. No man has greater
reason to be proud of his wife than
Dr. Felton, for no woman ever ex
hibted deeper devotion to the polit
ical fortunes of a husband.
We trmt that her arduous duties
in the late campaign may be reward
ed by a plesant time in Washington,
and a safe return with good health
and a replenished exchequer.—Dal

The rumored appearance of anew
disease, called Kotkotia, lately caus

It is described as beginning with a

The treatment consisted in cauteriz
ing and tying a tight ligature round
the affected limb on the rirst appear
ance of the symptoms. Dr. French,
civil surgeon, after a careful inquiry,
declared the whole tiling was imagin

growing into {wnulirK: a? u r#Kll ( l
increasing circulation Inlly attests; and if
present ratio of increase continues, it will soo*
have the largest circulation of any weekly
paper in the State. Coming to Carteroviiin
under somewhat adverse circumstance*, with
false impressions made in advance of hi.
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful obligation,
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of our material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Expeewi
Will ever be found the true an nnflinchia
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there bo any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment’is true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
Tlie Expreiw,
however, will oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the Democratic party
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie and form the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
Tlie F.xpreiM
Will be found “now and forever,” a Demo,
cratlc journal of “the straightest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
—believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, and the prosperity or this country de
pend upon * restoration ot the old landmarks
of our lathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain to us free government.and an
honest administration of the political affair* of
the country.
'
The Exprenw
will sever oruit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will be to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, favored as it is, with a climate, the
finest in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and mineral resource*
unequaled—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, ietelligent aud worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop thee sources of wealth, and to
make Cherokee Georgia the {garden spot of
the country will be among the chief eflorts t
this journal.
The Exprewi,
therefor*, appeal* to an honest and discrimi
nating public foi that patronage which shall
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
tow county. 1 Rapidly Overcoming the falsa
and infamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to be, or i* the or
gan of a ring--an imposition on general intel
ligence—
The Exprettx
will be found in|the end a journal that w ill
not stoop to subserviency in any form—ihut it
1* a free and honest paper'that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will ntrtr
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thror by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express

of merit, toe sooner it becomes extinct the
